Madonna Pairs Daring Bodysuit With Vintage Gucci Bomber Jacket

Madonna is stepping back into the spotlight and doing it in a way that instantly turns heads. The pop icon has officially confirmed her return to music, gearing up for the release of “Confessions on the Dancefloor: Part II.” The upcoming project marks her first album in seven years and serves as a continuation of her iconic 2005 record, setting the stage for a new era that remains rooted in her legacy.

For the announcement visuals, Madonna taps into her signature style, choosing a look that blends archival fashion with her performance energy. She layers a vintage silver Gucci bomber jacket over a daring bodysuit. Thus creating a contrast that feels both nostalgic and entirely modern.

The metallic jacket becomes the centerpiece, with its high shine finish catching light from every angle. Designed with a cropped silhouette, structured shoulders, and oversized utility pockets, it brings a bold, futuristic edge to the outfit. Ribbed white colored trims at the collar, cuffs, and hem keep the piece grounded. The fact that this is a resort 2006 archival piece adds a layer of fashion history to the moment.

Underneath, Madonna leans into a more revealing base. She paired the jacket with a high-cut baby-blue bodysuit over fishnet tights. She paired the bodysuit with matching blue thigh-high socks, creating a seamless, elongated look. The combination plays with proportion and texture, balancing coverage with exposure in a way that feels carefully styled.

Accessories subtly reinforce the look's attitude. She opts for tinted glasses that introduce a retro touch. At the same time, fingerless gloves nod to her earlier eras, tying the entire aesthetic back to her long-standing iconic influence on fashion.

Set against a shimmering, disco-inspired backdrop, the metallic fringe curtain adds dramatic movement and light. As she prepares to release ‘Confessions on the Dancefloor: Part II,' this look feels less like a throwback and more like a reminder that Madonna doesn't follow eras; she defines them.

The Minimalist '90s Midi Is The Only Dress To Invest In This Summer | Vogue

The minimalist midi dress is making a confident comeback this summer. With its rounded neckline and elegant, sleeveless form, it's a paragon of pared-back style–not to mention a perfect embodiment of the nostalgic '90s style that everyone's wrapped up in right now, originally championed by the likes of Helmut Lang and Calvin Klein.

Just as the silhouette is proving to be a favorite among today's supers–seen on everyone from EmRata to Bella Hadid–back in its heyday, Kate Moss was a key champion of the trend, regularly spotted in dresses that were deceptively simple in form, but never devoid of character. Whether a cocoon dress or a silky camisole slip, the dresses she regularly sported were always masterful exhibitions of sharp, minimalist cuts, clean lines and a deliberately sober palette.

Of course, another of the era's true masters of the trend was Carolyn Bessette Kennedy , a name on everyone's lips since the release of Ryan Murphy's Love Story , the hit series detailing her whirlwind romance with John Kennedy Jr. A patron saint of stripped-back style, her resurgent popularity has fueled interest in exactingly crafted clothes in neutral tones and quietly fabulous fabrics. Think: roomy white shirts, ruler-straight gabardine pencil skirts and, of course, minimalist dresses. The outfit she wore to a 1998 White House state dinner, held in honor of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, is a testament to her perennial style kudos, a lean black silhouette almost ascetic in its simplicity–and all the more elegant for it.

During the fashion show season that just passed, you didn't have to look far for the trend's revival. At Gucci, we saw a suite of second-skin models; at Miu Miu, ultra-cropped silhouettes in roomier, almost A-line fits, while at Prada, dresses were cinched at the waist, split at the hem, and rendered in the Italian house's signature technical nylon. Minimalist as the look may be, when these dresses hit the shop floor come the autumn, there'll be myriad ways to pull off the trend.

Below, here's our edit of minimalist dresses available to pull off the racks right now.

Dior, SCAD Partner On New Exhibition: ‘Dior: Crafting Fashion'

The House of Dior is making its debut in a museum in the Southeastern U.S. next month through a partnership with the Savannah College of Art and Design.

The Atlanta-based SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film worked with the French luxury house to create “ Dior : Crafting Fashion” which will open on April 16. The exhibition, which was curated by Hélène Starkman, exhibition curator for Christian Dior Couture, and organized by Rafael Brauer Gomes, creative director of SCAD FASH museums, offers an unprecedented look at the history of the company and how it has transformed over the years.

“Among the primary inspirations for this exhibition is the desire to share and reveal the entire creative process that gives rise to and reinvents Dior haute couture — this laboratory in motion — from white toiles to the defile,” said Olivier Bialobos, deputy managing director of Dior. “Sharing knowledge is also one of the key passions driving our creative director Jonathan Anderson, and we are therefore very pleased that this event is taking place at a university, the very symbol of knowledge sharing.”

The exhibition is broken down into seven distinct thematic sections and includes pieces created by a range of Dior designers, from Christian Dior to Jonathan Anderson , as well as toiles that speak to the “petites mains”; expressive gardens; Lady Dior handbags reimagined by American artists and looks from fashion shows and red carpet events.

All told, there are more than 100 historic pieces in the show, some presented for the first time.

“This spring, SCAD FASH celebrates the legacy and influence of Christian Dior, who conjured fashion with the precision of architecture and the passion of poetry,” said SCAD president and founder Paula Wallace. “This historic exhibition — featuring work never yet seen in a public exhibition — reveals the extraordinary artistry behind the storied French couture house, from the first toiles shaped by the ateliers, to the iconic lines and looks that command today's runways and red carpets. This exhibition is a master class in the magic of a legendary maison.”

The exhibition explores the chronology of the creative process — from drawing board to workshop and from accessorizing to runways — and is based on the namesake designer's initial dream of becoming an architect before running an art gallery until ultimately becoming a couturier.

Valentino Appoints Antonio Achille Chief Operating, Transformation Officer

MILAN — Valentino has completed the structure of its organization with the appointment of Antonio Achille as chief operating and transformation officer, effective April 8. Achille will report to chief executive officer Riccardo Bellini, who has been building his team since his arrival last September.

This is a new role at Valentino that merges different purviews, as Achille will oversee all industrial divisions and the digital and technology functions.

Achille was most recently senior vice president of business development, strategy, innovation and new business at Chalhoub Group . His CV spans more than 30 years across luxury, retail and consumer sectors, including global head of luxury at The Boston Consulting Group, previously senior partner at McKinsey ⁘ Company, and CEO of furniture firm Natuzzi.

Valentino relies on a web of production sites in Italy, ranging across towns such as Bucine, Limite and Capraia specialized in footwear production and housing the Valentino Shoes Lab, while the Valentino Sporting Shoes Lab is located in Macerata, specifically Morrovalle, in the Marche region.

Ready-to-wear is made in Turin, and other plants are in Scandicci (Tuscany) and Rosate (Lombardy), while the couture ateliers are at the company headquarters in Rome's Palazzo Mignanelli.

Bellini in December appointed Laurent Bergamo deputy CEO to flank him in the new chapter of the Rome-based couture house. Bergamo first joined Valentino in 2018, after spending 14 years at Tod's.

Other key appointments include Davide Tosi as chief merchandising officer of the brand. He was previously global chief merchandising officer of ready-to-wear at Gucci.

Angelina Jolie Steps Out For Tom Ford Shanghai Event

Angelina Jolie attended the Tom Ford event in Shanghai, China this week hosted by creative director Haider Ackermann, and three things immediately stood out.

First, the white Tom Ford dress. The actress has built so much of her red carpet identity around black, so seeing her step out in a satin robe-style dress like this feels refreshing. It's softer, lighter, and, considering the spring timing, it also feels timely.

Then there's the lip. The bold red grabs your attention—how could it not? But it also serves as a reminder that she is the face of Tom Ford Beauty , following the announcement back in August 2024 . We haven't really seen her lean into this signature shade for a while, not even during her press tour for Couture . You have to go back to February 2025 for the Critics' Choice Awards to find the last sighting of 16 Scarlet Rouge , that true matte red which has long been part of her beauty identity.

And finally, the hair. I will always hope for a return to brunette, but she's gone even lighter. I'm guessing that, with the white dress and the lighter hair, she's moving into a softer space.

I'm curious where everyone lands on this. Do we prefer Angelina leaning into this lighter direction, or are we ready for her to bring back the brunette?

Go hands-free with breezy, practical warm-weather styles you'll wear on repeat, from just $17.

Fast chargers deliver on the promise of convenience, but do they come at a cost to long-term battery health?

There are just 10 LIV Golf members in the field this week at the Masters, which is the fewest amount since the league was founded.

While she prioritizes comfort, her clothes never skimp on style.
